• 10:4810:48, 23 November 2024 diff hist −9 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction →Plot summaries of individual works: Not sure a summary of an individual work should ever actually change the order of events. I can see how it might work best to mention a detail earlier than it is revealed in the story. current
• 03:5403:54, 23 November 2024 diff hist −48 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction →Plot summaries of serial works: If the article is on a series, there wouldn't be a "present" work.
• 02:4702:47, 23 November 2024 diff hist −582 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction →Contextual presentation: All of this was a bit difficult to follow. The point seems to be that an article about a fictional work should include a plot summary.
• 02:2702:27, 23 November 2024 diff hist +69 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Novels →Plot: Sorry to mess with this paragraph again, but this seems like a rather significant point from MOS:PLOT which was absent here current

• 16:1216:12, 22 November 2024 diff hist −155 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Trivia sections Removing wording which I added. While I think a bold removal of the entire list was correct in the recently discussed example, that is probably the exception, so perhaps this isn't helpful. Tag: Reverted

• 13:2313:23, 22 November 2024 diff hist −337 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Trivia sections →"In popular culture" and "Cultural references" material: Prose could still contain a list of trivial points. I thought about combining this paragraph with the first paragraph of the section, but I'm not sure anything here is needed. Tag: Reverted

• 02:4502:45, 22 November 2024 diff hist −78 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Trivia sections →"In popular culture" and "Cultural references" material: Not sure it's helpful to mention tertiary sources here. My understanding is that such works should rarely be cited in Wikipedia. Rearranging first paragraph.

• 18:1318:13, 21 November 2024 diff hist +6 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction →Sourcing and quotations: Trying to emphasize "comprehensive". Still not real sure about this point.
• 15:4915:49, 21 November 2024 diff hist −45 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction →Sourcing and quotations: At first glance, this seemed to contradict everything else I had read about plot summaries. But I see it was discussed here. I am not sure this should be or is generally encouraged. It seems to be allowed, but unless you're going to base the whole summary on a secondary source, citing it there could be confusing. Tag: Reverted

• 00:4500:45, 20 November 2024 diff hist +136 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Trivia sections Removing "section", since it might not be a section as such. In a case like the one mentioned on the talk page, a bold removal of the entire list was probably correct.

• 23:1523:15, 18 November 2024 diff hist +138 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Trivia sections This seems to be the case in the situation that was brought up on the talk page. It would be more acceptable to have, say, ten examples if there aren't many other possible examples.

• 02:0402:04, 18 November 2024 diff hist +96 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Trivia sections Further integrating the point about in-prose lists. Now that we're talking about in-prose lists, the subsequent mention of prose could be confusing. Also, legitimate content in a trivia section should not always be converted to prose; sometimes it can be converted to a more narrowly focused list.

• 21:3221:32, 17 November 2024 diff hist +47 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Trivia sections The recent discussion seems to be more about in-prose lists
• 21:2821:28, 17 November 2024 diff hist +12 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Trivia sections Per talk page discussion about examples. This could also be addressed in the popular culture section, which probably needs an edit anyway but is difficult to pick apart.

• 18:2218:22, 16 November 2024 diff hist −64 Killing of JonBenét Ramsey I agree with including both calendar days as possible dates of death. However, when we talk about the "night of December 25", that would usually be understood to include the early morning hours of the next calendar day, so there's no need to say that.

• 05:0505:05, 15 November 2024 diff hist −172 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Novels →Publication date: Not real sure about this. Since this field actually says "Publication date", I suppose it should only be used for an actual publication date. I noticed that Template:Infobox poem has a "Written" field for the date it was written, but Template:Infobox book has no such field.

• 16:4716:47, 14 November 2024 diff hist +104 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Novels →Publication date: If a novel is notable enough for a Wikipedia article, chances are it was formally published at some point.
• 06:2506:25, 14 November 2024 diff hist −158 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Novels →Footnotes and references: Not sure, but it seems better to at least use <ref></ref>, which would make it into a footnote. The example had loc.gov but then log.gov, so if we put that back in we should make it consistent.
